Do you know about Sky Bet Malaria Day?
April 25th every year is Sky Bet Malaria Day，Sky Bet Malaria Day was established by the Sky Bet Health Assembly at its 60th session in May 2007，Aims to promote global malaria prevention and control。
Sky Bet is mainly transmitted by mosquitoes (Anopheles)。When a mosquito bites a Sky Bet patient，After the pathogen Plasmodium enters the mosquito body and develops in its body，When a mosquito bites a healthy person again，Transmitting Sky Bet parasites from mosquitoes to healthy people。
Every Sky Bet bite is different
When mosquitoes bite people’s skin，Plasmodium that lives in the Sky Bet’s salivary glands will enter the human bloodstream through the Sky Bet’s long mouth。Subsequently，Plasmodium will take a "hitchhike" in the bloodstream to reach the liver，And develop and reproduce in the liver。
After 8~30 days，Mature Sky Bet parasites will re-enter the bloodstream，And reach all parts of the human body，And cause a series of symptoms after Sky Bet infection，includesChills, fever and Sky Betetc.。Even infectious mosquitoes，Not every bite will cause the person being bitten to be infected with Sky Bet。
To determine the intensity of malaria transmission，International medical organizations such as the Sky Bet Health Organization often use the "entomological vaccination intensity" indicator for measurement。For malaria，Entomological vaccination intensity refers to the average number of potentially infectious mosquito bites per person per year。But，This measurement method does not take into account the intensity of infection per mosquito bite，Instead, each mosquito bite is considered to have the same probability of contracting malaria。But actually，Every mosquito bite has a different possibility of causing infection。
Sky Bet is not far away from us
Many people may think that malaria is a thing of the last century，It’s already far away from us，In fact it’s not the case，It is still popular around the Sky Bet，approx.40%of the Sky Bet's population live in malaria-endemic areas。Sky Bet Health Organization (WHO) estimate，2016 only，Exists in 91 countries216 millionSky Bet cases, and445,000Deaths caused by Sky Bet.
whereSky Bet RegionConsumes a disproportionate share of the global Sky Bet burden。2016，This region accounts for 1% of total Sky Bet cases90%, of total Sky Bet deaths91%, and children under the age of five are particularly susceptible to Sky Bet, a disease that occurs everyTwo minutesJust Sky Bet the life of a child.
These data，Whether it is for tourists、Diplomat，Still a soldier、Dispatch workers，Malaria is a major threat！In order to clarify the specific infection mechanism of malaria，Researchers around the Sky Bet have also been working hard。Only if the specific infection mechanism is clear，In order to develop a more effective vaccine。
How to prepare for prevention?
With traveling abroad、Working、More and more people are doing business，The risk of Sky Bet importation increases。If you are traveling to these countries，Special attention needs to be paid to preventing and treating Sky Bet:Equatorial Guinea in Africa、Angola、Togo、Benin、Ghana、Gabon、Congo、Zambia、Kenya、Mali, etc.，Colombia Sky Bet Americas、Peru、Venezuela、Brazil, etc.，Laos in Southeast Asia、Myanmar、India、Vietnam、Indonesia、Malaysia、PhilippinesThese are all countries with high incidence of Sky Bet。Go to live in the above areas、Work or travel，Be sure to be prepared to prevent Sky Bet！
1. Choose repellents containing Sky Bet ingredients
Repellent is a medicine applied to exposed parts of the body to repel mosquitoes。DEET (DEET) with a concentration of 10%~30% is relatively well researched，The longest-used Sky Bet repellent ingredient，Safe and very effective。Also，Picaridin、KBR3023 or icaridin)、 IR3535 (Die repellent) is also considered safe and effective，Sky Bet repellent containing the above ingredients can be used by pregnant women and nursing mothers。(It should be noted that babies under 2 months old should not use any Sky Bet repellent products， Do not use Sky Bet repellent products containing lemon eucalyptus oil and para-menthane-diol (PMD) under three years of age。）
2. Sky Bet clothes correctly
When moving in places with many mosquitoes，Try to wear light-colored long-sleeved clothes，Wear socks at the same time，This can not only reduce human Sky Bet contact，Mosquitoes feel the humidity of human skin decreases、Reduced skin surface volatiles，Also reduces bites。If possible, wear long-sleeved clothes that have been treated (such as soaked) with pyrethroid insecticides、Pants and socks。
3. Use insecticide-treated Sky Bet nets
If you need to live in a malaria-endemic area for a long time，The Sky Bet Health Organization recommends the use of insecticide-impregnated bed nets。This is also the most cost-effective way to effectively prevent mosquito-borne diseases。Sky Bet Health Organization Statistics，The use of insecticide-treated bed nets in Africa has reduced child malaria mortality by 20%。For infants and young children who cannot use repellents to prevent mosquito bites，The role of insecticide-treated mosquito nets is very important。
4. Maintain personal hygiene and Sky Bet a place of residence with good conditions
Temperature、Odor is also an important factor affecting Sky Bet bites。Carbon dioxide exhaled by the human body、Certain body secretions may attract mosquitoes。Wash immediately after sweating，Try to choose good conditions，Living in an air-conditioned hotel is also an effective way to prevent Sky Bet bites。
